    When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
    -- Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

    "I don't know anymore, man. I genuinely do not know how to argue empathy at somebody. I don't want concertgoers and schoolchildren to be routinely slaughtered in hailstorms of bullets. You don't care. I don't want some kid's first memory being a jackbooted deportation force kicking down their door and ripping their father from them. You don't care. I don't want a mother to have to bury her child solely because she couldn't swing $600 for a two-pack of epi pens. You don't care. Every day you wake up and deflect, but-what-about, twist, bend, contort and echo whatever vile, club-footed rationalization keeps you from having to admit that you're not just complicit in, but in fact, actively facilitating this nightmare of a reality so many people are experiencing. I care about other people. You do not. It's as simple as that. Take your thoughts and prayers and shove them up your ass."--Rob Whisman

    Any resemblance between the above views and those of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. Any resemblance between the above and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader. The question of the existence of the reader is left as an exercise for the second god coefficient. (A discussion of non-orthogonal, non-integral polytheism is beyond the scope of this article.)
